Not yet..I wanted to explore what documents do I need to carry to flagpole and get a WP for my spouse ?
Opt-in for Valid Open Work Permit Holders
- Thread starter AndryMedina
- Start date
If you are already in Canada and your GCKey letter shows the same address where you are currently staying than you dont need to do anything. You should receive the hard copy of WP in your post within 8-10 days after receiving the GCKey "correspondence letter".
I submitted the Opt-in on Jun 7 then on July 17, I received an email from IRCC about a technical issue and asked me to update my address again. Since then, I don't see any update and I see my old WP on the GC key portal. Anyone sailing in the same boat.
Hi,
Anyone please share your application status who received "correspondence letter" instead of In-Canada Approval. I did not receive anything.

I just confirmed it through a friend. We need following documents for flag-polling
1. Fill out imm5710e and printed ready
2. Work permit (Main applicant- must be valid of 6 months or more)
3. Immigration documents for spouse (WP/SP or visitor record)
3. Marriage certificate
4. Supporting documents from main applicant(Employment letter/certificate + recent pay slips for main applicant)
And we don't need to apply anything online but physically present all the above documents ready to visa officer for work permit application
Very imporant: We will need original passports to cross US-Canadian border.
We were talking about processing of normal work and study permit applications through Flagpoling
This is very useful.Thank you...Does this also apply in my case where I got 18 months sowp extension but my spouse is on closed wp which is expiring soon..he is eligible for owp based on my owp and same documents stated above applies ?..please confirm..
I am also in the same situation. I intend to go for flag-polling during this week for myself; my spouse got 18 month extension. whereas I have mine the employer-specifi WP
I believe we will need the same documents that we use for extension of normal WP. Its just a matter of eligibility that only a visa officer can tell
I'm also curious to know if this works. Please keep us posted on your experience. All the very best.
I am scheduled to visit CBSA port on coming Wedenesday (16 August). Good luck to me and everyone
